Contrary to popular notions of Christians as sexual prudes, 15 years of study have convinced a psychologist and professor that "knowing" your spouse "in the biblical sense" can be scientifically verified as a fulfilling and spiritual experience.
Dr. Chuck MacKnee, who teaches psychology at Trinity Western University, a school associated with the Evangelical Free Church near Vancouver, Canada, began studying sexuality in Christian couples in the 1990s at the University of British Columbia.
MacKnee told The Vancouver Sun that while many people assume biblical writers used the phrase "knowing" a person as a bashful way of saying "having sex," he believes the writers and translators were tapping into the uniquely intimate sense of knowing God that can be found within married, Christian sexuality.
"In sexuality, we're looking for connection and fulfillment in another person," MacKnee was quoted as saying in Faith Today. "But this is really the same reason we search for God. … The Hebrew word for sexual intimacy means literally 'to know', as in 'Adam knew Eve'. Yet David used the same word for God when he said in Psalm 139: 'O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.'"
